NOT TRUE.

In its virulent attack upon a bill to make
paupers," the Mugwump New York Ereaiag
Post says:
The bill 4" 3 institutes a new and radical depart
in pension legislation. Hitherto not only in
the United States. but also in every other country
which maintains an army pension list the funda-
mental condition of every such grant from the pub
lie Treasury has been death disability incurred
in the army.
This is simply untrue, which the editor of
The Post knows, if he is reasonably we'll
informed on the subject on which he writes.
Every nation in Europe not only pensions
its soldiers for wounds or disability incurred
in the army, but also gives them pensions
after a certain length of service, even if they
have not been injured. The length of service
before the soldier is entitled to a pension,
and the amount that he viii receive varies
with the different countries, and are also
frequently changed by law, so that we are
unable to give reliable schedule Of service
pensions, but no well-informed man will deny
that every nation recognizes and acts upon
this principle. Therefore the editor of
The Post either ignorantly or wilfully states
an untruth.
The National tribune., 1887-02-24
NO REASON.

Had the Dependent Pension bill been
signed it is very probable that some unde-
serving men would have been benefited by
it.
1t is absurd to say that this was any
reason for refusing to sign the bill
If the President is determined to sign no
bills that will by any chance favor undeserv-
ing men, he had better empty his inkstand
and throw away his pen, for he will never
sign another bill.
There was never a general beneficiary bill
passed that did not give unworthy men an
advantage which they should not have had,
and there never will be- 1t is inevitable, in
the very nature of things, that in general
legislation men will be benefited who should
not receive anything.
Shall 90 worthy and deserving men be
denied their rights because one unworthy
one may get that to which he has no claim {?
This is absurd.
According to Mr.. Cleveland's reasoning a
Paymaster in the army would be justified
in refusing to pay regiment of fighting
men because he would have to pay also a
half-dOzen skulkers and towards.
The National tribune., 1887-02-24
THAT aHEANY RIrRDEN.n

The President and the sOldier-hating pa
pers make much ado over the heavy burden
that the Dependent Bill will place upon the
people of the country
Who is bearing that burden now?
The GAR. Posts and the State, Town
ship and municipal treasures of the
country
The GAR. Posts everywhere work inces-
sanity and exhaust every means to gather
up money to relieve the pressing necessities
of the broken-down veterans of their neigh
borhood. There is not in the country, or
in the world even, better organized system
of charity than that maintained by the
GAR. Posts and their noble allies, the
WOman's Relief Corps and the Sons of Vet
Grams. There are no more in6e 'atigable
workers anywhere.
Yet, in spite of all they can do they can
relieve but moiety of the sore distress
around them. They see around them every
where disabled comrades and their families
who are suffering for the bare necessaries
of life, who are too proud to accept the dole
of charity, even from the hands of their COM
rades. Everywhere they see men who did
the country splendid service, with the
musket and saber, giving up the sore strug-
gle for bread and drifting to the humiliating
and distasteful shelter of the almshouse.
Every State in the East, North and West
now has either built splendid homes for the
disabled veterans and for their orphans, or
has the same in course of erection. The
money for all these, as well as that needed
for the support of the veterans, either in
them or in the County, Township and City
poorhOuse, is drawn from the people by di-
rect taxation.
Why should not this heavy burden be lift
ed from the shoulders where it now rests
and be put upon the stronger ones of the
General Government, which had the benefit
of the youthful strength and health of these
now broken men?
The National tribune., 1887-02-24
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON IN
VALID PENSIONS.


VALID PENSIONS
The soldiers OF the country were hardly
prepared for the prompt and decisive action
of the House Committee on Invalid Pensions
on the Presidents veto of the Dependent
Pension Bill. They had, indeed, expected
that the Committee would in due time re-
port the bill back to the House with the
recommendation that it pass notwithstand-
ing the veto, but they were not prepared for
such ready and unanimous action, and for
such an earnest and able controversion of the
Presidents arguments against it.
The Committees report is document that
every veteran and friend of the veterans can
read with pleasure. 1t is masterful. More
dignified in tone than the Presidents mes
sage, and n great deal more sinewy in its
logic, it is such a presentation of the claims
of the soldier upon the consideration of the
country as must arrest the attention of every
thinking man and command his respect. If
he is open to conviction it will convince him.
Thereport meets the Presidents arguments
at every point fairly and squarely, shows
their unsOundness and sophistry, and dem
onstrates the superiority of the bill to every
objection raised against it. Nothing is evaded,
and there is none of the quibbling and shifty
thanking" that belittle the message. 1t
opposes justice, good faith, and sound reason
ing to expediency, sharp practice, and special
graph. 1t is such an argument that, ad-
dressed to an intelligent jury or judge upon
the bench against such an argument as the
message, would win every time, and it will
win with Congress and the American people.
We shall not attempt to review it at length,
for we want every reader to go over it care
fully for himself and study its merits. 1t
will repay him.
The names Of the men who united in max
ing the report should be known, that they
may be honored for it. They are Court
land c. Matson, of Indiana; Edwin B.
Winans, OF Michigan; Henry b. Lowering,
of Massachusetts; William H. Neece, of
Illinois; John A. SwOpe, of Pennsylvania;
William p. Taulbee, of Kentucky; James
n. PidcOck, of New jersey; William w.
Ellsberry, of Ohio; John S. Pindar, of New
York; Edmund n. Morrill,, of Kansas;
Martin A. Haynes, of New Hampshire

TIE MEXICAN PENSION BILL.

THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE has always ia
vored the Mexican Pension bill. 1t is but a
small repayment that the Government can
make to the survivors of the gallant men who
carried our flag in triumph to the Halls of
the Montezumas. They gained for the Ma
ton an empire of magnificent territory,
which has brought our people incalculable
wealth.
When we think of California, Nevada,
Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico it does
not seem that the Nation ought to begrudge
a few dollars month to the survivors of the
followers of Scott, Taylor, Fremont and
Kearney.
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE's only criticism
upon the President was for recognizing Just
principle, when it benefited great body of
veterans south of Mason 4 Dixon's line. and
denying the same relief to still greater
body OF ex-soldiers who reside north of the
Potomac and Ohio.
The National tribune., 1887-02-24
THE SOLDIERS SPEAK.

The Posts are responding by volley to
Commander-i1-Chief Fairchilds request &c
let their Congressman hear from them
They have walked up all over the country
and every mail that reaches Washington is
loaded with resolutions from Posts and let
tiers from comrades urging Congressman to
pass the bill over the Presidents veto. A
very large portion of the Congressional Rec
ord each day is taken up by announcement
of petitions from Posts and other soldier OF.
CARNATIONS TO the same effect.
There has never been a more unanimous
and earnest expression of sentiment by the
Order at large than there is being made now
in favor of the Dependent Bill.
1t is stunning reply to the wretched
falsehoods Of soldier-hating papers which
have claimed all along that the veterans as a
body are opposed to the bill.

STATUS OF TIE BILL.

The House of Representatives have set
to-day, ThuIsday-Feb. 2f-for considering
the passage of the Dependent Pension Bill
over the Presidents veto. An inter-
esting and exciting time is anticipated,
for the friends of the bill are very
much in earnest, as the unanimous report
of the Committee on Invalid Pensions
shows. The result cannot be foretold. The
vote on the bill at its first passage was more
than two-thirds, but it is not known how
many of those who then supported it will
continue to do so in face of the Presidents
veto.
We shall hope for the best.
The National tribune., 1887-02-24
GENEROUSLY BESTOWED. -

Mr. Cleveland lays much stress upon the
way the Government has generously be-
slowed "" its bounty upon those who saved
its life and upon their dependent ones.
We invite the Presidents attention to one
detail Of this generous bestowal."
The young orphans of dead soldiers have
generously bestowed upon them the enor-
nous sum Of 50 month!
That is 81 cents day.
Think of such generosity!n
Six and two-thirds cents day TO provide
a healthy, active child with clothes, copper
tOed shoes, dolls, playthings, medicines,
books and tickets TO Sunday-schooI excur-
sions!
Two dollars month 10 buy the food TO
satisfy its healthy appetite and keep its busy
little feet and restless body protected against
the Winters cold and every seasons in
clemency.
Yet the greatest Of all our Presidents-in
one Of those inspired utterances which knit
the heart Of the whole people TO him-sol-
emily promised that the Nation should
care for him who has borne the battle, and
for his widow and orphans"
Had the father not given his life and
strength for the country, would the child be
pinched and starved now on So month?
The National tribune., 1887-02-24

CANADA relies on the loss Of her barley TO
help bring us 10 our senses. One of her pub
lac men says that ii will make such rise
IN the cost of beer that the enrsged Germans
will sweep the Gloucester fishing-feet from
the Ocean" Raising the price of beer is in
deed an awful contingency, and il had escaped
our attention. But is it not likely that some
where in our 100000 square miles of fer
tile territory we can-if w are pushed 10
it-iind a little neck Of land that will raise
MS good barley as the Bay Of Quinty? IL
would seem so.
